Starlin Castro is not in the Yankees' lineup Sunday.

Castro has battled a hamstring injury of late and the Yankees have decided to give him an extra day of rest heading into the winter. Donovan Solano is handling second base. Chase Headley is also sitting out, as Ronald Torreyes is at third. Oct 2 - 12:05 PM

Starlin Castro went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and a run scored in a win over the Red Sox on Thursday.

Since returning from a hamstring strain, Castro was 1-for-9 in three games before Thursday's two-hit night. After being dealt from the Cubs to the Yankees in exchange for Adam Warren last winter -- a deal that looks like a coup for the Yankees now -- the 26-year-old has had a strong year in 2016, batting .272/.302/.436 with 21 homers, 70 RBI and 63 runs scored. He'll be back as the Yankees' everyday second baseman in 2017, barring the unforeseen. Sep 29 - 11:16 PM

Starlin Castro (hamstring) has returned to the Yankees' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

Castro appeared as pinch-hitter during Monday's game and now he's ready to return to the starting lineup. He'll hit cleanup against David Price. The 26-year-old has been out for 10 days with a right hamstring strain. Sep 27 - 3:35 PM

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Wednesday that Aaron Judge, Aaron Hicks, and Rob Refsnyder are currently the options to get at-bats in right field next season.

Obviously the Yankees would love for Judge to run away with the opportunity, but the 24-year-old batted just .179 with 42 strikeouts in 95 plate appearances during his first stint in the majors before being shut down with a right oblique strain in mid-September. This situation is subject to change, as there's a chance Brett Gardner could be a trade chip over the winter. The Yankees would surely love to deal Jacoby Ellsbury, but finding a taker (even if they cover a lot of the money involved) will be a big challenge.
